citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Except as otherwise provided in KRS Chapters 600 to 645:

(1) The complaint and all subsequent court documents shall be entitled: "In the interest of ...., a child." The complaint shall be verified and may be upon information and belief. It shall set forth plainly:

(b) The name, age and residence of the child;

(c) The name and residence of each parent;

(d) If the child has a legal guardian or is in the custody of or under the supervision of an adult other than a parent, the name and residence of such person;

(e) If no parent, guardian or other such person is known or can be found, the name and residence of the nearest known adult relative of the child; and (f) If the child is in the custody or control of a person other than the parent, guardian or nearest adult relative, the name and residence of such person.
